1968) Detailed Weight Division History [in American lbs, European kilograms, English stones] Heavyweight (over 200 pounds-unlimited; over 91.4 kg; 14 stone, 5 pounds - unlimited): First originated as 160 pounds plus (over 72.7 kg or 11 stone, 4 pounds) by Jack Broughton (in 1738); next established by the ABA as unlimited (in 1889); reaffirmed no limit by the NSC (in 1909); changed by the NYSAC to 175 plus in 1920; modified again in 1979 by the WBC (followed by the WBA in 1982 and the IBF in 1983); again modified in 2004 by the WBA, WBC and IBF to mean 201-plus pounds.

Cruiserweight [also called junior heavyweight] (176-200 lbs; 80.0 – 90.0 kg; 12 stone 8 pounds – 14 stone 4 pounds): First originated in England (later called lighter-heavyweight); next established as 176-190 lbs (80.0 – 86.2 kg or 12 stone, 8 pounds – 13 stone, 8 pounds) by the WBC in 1979, then the WBA in 1982, and the IBF in 1983; modified in 2004 first by the WBC, then the WBA and next by the IBF to allow a maximum limit of 200 pounds. NOTE: the English class cruiserweights (from 1889-1937) became light heavyweight (1937-present). The name reappeared in America (in 1980) for a new class of 190, then 195, and currently 200 pound boxers.

Light Heavyweight [also called lighter-heavyweight] (169-175 lbs; 76.8 – 79.5 kg; 12 stone, 1 pounds – 12 stones, 7 pounds): Initially created by Lou Houseman for his fighter Jack Root (in 1903); first established by the NSC (in 1909) as 12 stone, 7 pounds or 175 lbs.

(The IBRO , however, says this class was created in 1984 by the IBF; followed by the WBA in 1987; and the WBC in 1988. [2] )) Middleweight (155-160 lbs; 70.5 – 72.7 kg; 11 stone, 1 pound – 11 stone, 6 pounds): First established by the ABA as 11 stone, 4 pounds (in 1889); modified by the NSC (in 1909) as 11 stone, 6 pounds or 160 lbs.

Recognized by the Austrian Boxing Board of Control and European Boxing Union (in 1962).

NOTE: this weight class can be divided into two historical periods: 1956-1962 and 1963-present. (The IBRO says it was created by the WBA in 1962- the WBA's first world junior middleweight title bout was held on October 20, 1962, three days after a "world" junior middleweight title bout sanctioned by the Austrian Boxing Board of Control. The WBC recognized the division in 1963 and later renamed it the "Super Welterweight" division.) Welterweight (141-147 lbs; 64.1 – 66.8 kg; 10 stone, 1 pound – 10 stone, 7 pounds): First recognized in England as 142-145 pounds (in 1889, then 1892). Next established by the NSC (in 1909) as 10 stone, 7 pounds or 147 lbs and made uniform as 147 pounds by the NYSAC and NBA (in 1920).

Junior Welterweight (also called Light Welterweight or Super Lightweight): (136-140 lbs; 61.8 – 63.6 kg; 9 stone, 10 pounds – 10 stone): First created by the New York Walker Law (in 1920). First recognized by Boxing Blade and also sanctioned by the NBA (in 1922); first established by the WBC in 1968. NOTE: This weight class can be divided into three distinct historical periods: 1922-1935, 1946, and 1959-present. (The IBRO says that was weight class was mentioned in the rules of the NYSAC in 1920 but basically ignored. In the fall of 1922, The Blade, a Midwestern boxing weekly, held a "write-in" contest to name the first champion and the readers chose Pinky Mitchell as the first champion. In the 1930s title recognition got muddled for awhile until Barney Ross reunified the title on November 17, 1933.

Ross relinquished the title in 1935 when it got muddled again. Tippy Larkin won NBA and NYSAC recognition as champion in 1946 but forfeited it in 1947. The title was dormant until 1959 when the NBA sanctioned a title bout between Carlos Ortiz and Kenny Lane . Late in 1968 the WBC withdrew title recognition from “Lineal” champion Paul Fuji and established their own champion. The WBC renamed the division "Super Lightweight" in 1976.) Lightweight (131-135 lbs; 59.5 – 61.4 kg; 9 stone, 5 pounds – 9 stone, 9 pounds): First originated as any fighter whose weight was less than 160 pounds by Jack Broughton (in 1738); under London Prize Ring , weight class ranged from (130-150); next established by the ABA as 10 stone (in 1889); modified by the NSC (in 1909) as 9 stone, 9 pounds or 135 lbs.

First English Champion John Moneghan (in 1850). Junior Lightweight [also called Super Featherweight] (127-130 lbs; 57.7 – 59.1 kg; or 9 stone, 1 pound – 9 stone, 4 pounds): Created by the New York Walker Law (in 1920), though first established by the NYSAC (in 1930). NOTE: this weight class can be divided into distinct historical periods: 1921-1933 and 1959-present. (The IBRO says this weight class appeared in Europe in 1914. Johnny Dundee won the first world junior lightweight title recognition by the NYSAC on November 18, 1921. The division ceased to exist after 1934. It reappeared for a short time on December 6, 1949, when Sandy Saddler won recognition as champion. The NBA revised the class on July 20, 1959 when Harold Gomes defeated Paul Jorgensen for the vacant title.

The WBC recognized the division in 1968 and established their own champion.

The IBF followed suit in 1984 and the WBO in 1989.) Featherweight (123-126 lbs; 55.9 – 57.3 kg: or 8 stone, 11 pounds – 9 stone): First created under London Prize Ring Rules (in 1860) as 118 lbs (53.6 kg or 8 stone, 6 pounds); first established by the ABA as 126 lbs (57.3 kg or 9 stone in 1889); changed under Marquess Rules to 110 lbs (in 1889); next changed to 115 pounds (52.3 kg or 8 stone, 3 pounds) when George Dixon beat Cal McCarthy in 1890; his manager then changed to 120 lbs (54.4 kg or 8 stone, 8 pounds) when Dixon beat Abe Willis ; modified by the NSC (in 1909) as 126 lbs (57.3 kg or 9 stone).

Junior Featherweight [also called Light Featherweight, Super Bantamweight] (119-122 lbs; 54.1 – 55;5 kg; or 8 stone, 7 pounds – 8 stone, 10 pounds): First created by the New York Walker Law, though not fully established by the NYSAC (1920); first sanctioned by the WBC (in 1976) (The IBRO says the WBC called it "Super Bantamweight.") The WBA followed in 1977. Bantamweight (116-118 lbs; 52.7 – 53.6 kg; or 8 stone, 4 pound – 8 stone, 6 pounds): First established by the ABA (in 189), then fully sanctioned by the NSC (in 1909) as 118 lbs (53.6 kg or 8 stone, 6 pounds). Later solidified by the New York Walker Law for standardized weight divisions (in 1920); endorsed by the NYSAC, and sanctioned by the NBA.

Under London Prize Ring Rules, the weight division was 105 lbs (47.7 kg or 7 stone, 7 pounds). Under Queensberry Rules , it increased to 112 lbs (50.9 kg or 8 stone in 1880) and then 115 pounds (52.3 kg or 8 stone, 3 pounds in 1890). The weight class was set at 116 pounds (52.7 kg or 8 stone, 4 pounds in 1898). The present 118 pound limit was first adopted in England (in 1904), then by the NSC (in 1909). Junior Bantamweight [also called Light Bantamweight, Super Flyweight] (113-115 lbs; 51.4 – 52.3 kg; or 8 stone, 1 pound – 8 stone, 3 pounds): First created by the New York Walker Law (in 1920) regulating standardized weight divisions.

(The IBRO says it was mentioned in the rules of the NYSAC in 1920, but apparently no titles were ever held. The WBC re-introduced the division as "Super Flyweight" in 1980. The WBA followed in 1981.) Flyweight [also called Paperweight in England] (109-112 lbs; 49.5 – 50.0 kg; or 7 stone, 11 pounds – 8 stone): First established by the NSC (in 1909) as 112 lbs (50.9 kg or 8 stone). English boxing authorities followed suit and set the weight limit as 108 lbs (49.1 kg or 7 stone, 10 pounds in 1910). The NBA and NYSAC recognized this weight class in 1927. New York’s 1920 Walker Law established the weight class at 112 pounds.

Junior Flyweight [also called Light Flyweight] (106-108 lbs; 48.2 – 49.1 kg; 7 stone, 8 pounds – 7 stone, 10 pounds): First established by the 1920 Walker Law regulating standardized weight divisions. First sanctioned by the WBC in 1975. (The IBRO says it was established by the NYSAC at 109 pounds in 1920. Not much happened and it disappeared quickly. The WBC and WBA re-introduced the class at 108 pounds in 1975. The WBC called the division "Light Flyweight.") Strawweight [also called Minimumweight, Mini-Flyweight] (96-105 lbs; 43.6 – 47.7 kg; or 6 stone, 12 pounds – 7 stone, 7 pounds): First established as a "worldwide" division by the IBF (in 1987) and later recognized by both the WBA and WBC.

(The IBRO says it was established by the Thai Boxing Commission at 105 pounds in 1984. The IBF, WBC and WBA created the division in 1987. The IBF called it "Mini Flyweight"; the WBC "Strawweight"; and the WBA "Minimumweight." The IBF held its first world title bout for the division in June 1987; the WBC in October 1987, and the WBA in January 1988.) Paperweight (95lbs and below; less than 43.2 kg; or 6 stone, 11 pounds): First established by the Queensberry Amateur Championship and ABA as 95 lbs and less (in 1880). In time the paperweight champion became synonymous with the flyweight and bantamweight champions, although the weight actually increased 17 pounds by sanctioning of the NSC around 1896-1898.

These are the traditional eight weight divisions which have been added to during the last century. There is a list of 17 classes in all which are used today, with several newer divisions slotting between the above eight.

Boxing Weight Classes Pounds These are the standard eight weight divisions that have been added to over the last century. There is a summary of 17 classes in most which are utilized today, with several more recent divisions slotting between your above eight. The new categories imply that fighters are much more precisely matched when it comes to weight. They also allow it to be easier for fighters to maneuver between the various divisions. The complete list is beneath, from heaviest in order to lightest. Separating boxers into divisions helps ensure fair fights. For example, a fighter who weighs more than 200 pounds has more force behind his punch, while a fighter who weighs 140 pounds will likely be faster and more agile than the heavier fighter.

While weight classes were originally separated into eight divisions, the boxing classes today are divided into 17 divisions, allowing fighters to be more precisely matched with their proper weight opponent. Boxers may also wish to move between these weight divisions to face new opponents and test their abilities at different weights. Note that fighters on the cusp of a weight division can choose to fight in the lower or upper division. This can make all the difference between winning and losing.
